Package: u-boot-sunxi
Version: 2014.10+dfsg1-5
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,


I'm trying to migrate an existing (mixed armel/armhf) system from a CuBox to a 
BananaPro.
I used dd to copy the appropriate u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin to an offset of 8k 
from the 
start of the sdcard.

I copied the fw_env.config settings from the following page:
https://blog.night-shade.org.uk/2014/01/fw_printenv-config-for-allwinner-devices/

I ran fw_printenv expecting it to display the u-boot environment embedded in 
the .bin file.

Instead it prints the error about Bad CRC mentioned at the bottom of the page.  
Followed
by what I assume is a u-boot environment embedded in fw_printenv. 

Poking at the .bin file I find something that looks like a u-boot environment 
at a much lower offset but
I lack the knowledge to work backwards from the file to fw_env.config values.

It would be useful if the u-boot-sunxi package came with documentation of 
appropriate
fw_env.config settings for each variant it supports.
